6th grade Spanish students finished their Day of the Dead "calacas and mascaras" early this week and ended with desciption adjectives so they could describe their final products to the class in Spanish.
7th and 8th graders are doing more Total Physical Response in Storytelling (TPRS) through Ana Lomba stories. Students are being exposed to a wealth of vocabulary and picking up new vocabulary everyday by reading and hearing words in the context of an interactive storyline.
There are more of Ana Lomba’s “Spanish for Kids” Classic E-Storybooks to download in the iTunes App Store. I introduced "La Gallina Roja" (The Little Red Hen) in an earlier blog, and I will now endorse five additional classic stories:

IT MAY BE unintuitive – especially if you don’t speak Spanish – but one of the fastest ways to help your kids (and yourself) build fluency in Spanish is to read aloud in Spanish. When you read aloud with your children you are setting in motion the four blades of a very powerful “Language Propeller” that will launch your fluency with rocket. These stories are all easy downloads and, best of all, FREE!
Students should consider creating a folder on their iPads to store their Ana Lomba stories. When all are downloaded, they should have access to the following:
- The Red Hen / La gallina roja
- Cinderella / Cenicienta
- The Three Little Pigs / Los tres cerditos
- Jack and the Beanstalk / Juan y las habichuelas mágicas
- Thumbelina / Pulgarcita
- The Ugly Duckling / El patito feo
